Welcome to the second instalment—er, outfit—of All in One, a new series in which we visit stores around the city and prove that one-stop shopping is possible for the ever-busier consumer. This time we checked out Yorkville’s Uncle Otis (26 Bellair Street), home to neo-traditional style options and an assortment of street- and workwear. We think the sharply dressed man prefers to have longevity in the clothes he buys, so we put together something timeless that could last for years to come. The total cost for our haul was $1500, but check out the individual price breakdown and shots of the individual pieces in a gallery below.

New-school dandies looking to add a pop of colour to their summer wardrobes have been buzzing about these Graftons on fashion blogs for months. Follow suit or risk being scolded at the next garden function. $350.<br /> <br /> (Image: Kevin Naulls)

Bespectacled designer Sydney Mamane certainly makes more than just white shirts, but everyone needs one (or seven), and this button-down is fitted and strong, so it can take the strain from an axe-wielding gentleman. $200.<br /> <br /> (Image: Kevin Naulls)

Big John is the original Japanese selvage denim company, and given the rise of the denim geek, this very traditional style fits in today. Uncle Otis is the only store in the city to carry this brand. $220.<br /> <br /> (Image: Kevin Naulls)

We spotted this blazer and dug its jaunty, vaguely safari-inspired pockets and soft grey cotton fabric. It looks like something Vincent Cassel would wear while speeding through the French countryside in an Alfa Romeo with Monica Bellucci by his side. If a blazer could help a gentleman realize a similar fantasy, we’d argue it’s worth the price tag. $415. <br /> <br /> (Image: Kevin Naulls)
